Internet is an extremely dynamic medium. There could be numerous other companies that may be dealing the services and products that you market. In such a scenario, the importance of online brand building becomes significant. Some useful tips on online branding that may help in getting more traffic to your site are discussed below:
I've read this help article on GoDaddy's website and I know must be super easy to do it. but I don't have a GoDaddy domain currently and I am trying to explain the process to a friend.
I am looking for a more detailed answer than the one on GoDaddy's website, specially I would like to know how one could add or renew other services, such as DBP, while renewing the domain.
Screenshots would be useful too!

True network and virtual machine portability - that's the ultimate goal of Hyper-V Network Virtualization - allowing you, as an IT Pro, to align changing business needs with the best physical resource locations to run your VMs and network services - easily, without the sweeping network, router, switch, firewall and DNS changes with which we'd traditionally be plagued when merely attempting the feat of relocating VMs to a new rack, subnet or data center ... WOW!
I'm separating my software into three main layers (maybe tiers would be a better term):
Presentation ('Views')
Business logic ('Services' and 'Repositories')
Data access ('Entities' (e.g. ActiveRecords))
What do I have now?
In Presentation, I use read-only access to Entities, returned from Repositories or Services, to display data.
$banks = $banksRegistryService->getBanksRepository()->getBanksByCity( $city );
$banksViewModel = new PaginatedList( $banks ); // some way to display banks;
// example, not real code
I find this approach quite efficient in terms of performance and code maintanability and still safe as long as all write operations (create, update, delete) are preformed through a Service:
namespace Service\BankRegistry;
use Service\AbstractDatabaseService;
use Service\IBankRegistryService;
use Model\BankRegistry\Bank;
class Service
extends AbstractDatabaseService
implements IBankRegistryService
{
/**
* Registers a new Bank
*
* @param string $name Bank's name
* @param string $bik Bank's Identification Code
* @param string $correspondent_account Bank's correspondent account
*
* @return Bank
*/
public function registerBank( $name, $bik, $correspondent_account )
{
$bank = new Bank();
$bank
-> setName( $name )
-> setBik( $bik )
-> setCorrespondentAccount( $correspondent_account );
if( null === $this->getBanksRepository()->getDefaultBank() )
$this->setDefaultBank( $bank );
$this->getEntityManager()->persist( $bank );
return $bank;
}
/**
* Makes the $bank system's default bank
*
* @param Bank $bank
* @return IBankRegistryService
*/
public function setDefaultBank( Bank $bank )
{
$default_bank = $this->getBanksRepository()->getDefaultBank();
if( null !== $default_bank )
$default_bank->setDefault( false );
$bank->setDefault( true );
return $this;
}
}
Where am I stuck?
I'm struggling about how to update certain fields in Bank Entity.
Bad solution #1: Making a series of setters in Service for each setter in Bank; - seems to be quite reduntant, increases Service interface complexity and proportionally decreases it's simplicity - something to avoid if you care about code maitainability. I try to follow KISS and DRY principles.
Bad solution #2: Modifying Bank directly through it's native setters; - really bad. If you'll ever need to move modification into the Service, it will be pain. Business logic should remain in Business logic layer. Plus, there are plans on logging all of the actions and maybe even involve user permissions (perhaps, through decorators) in future, so all modifications should be made only through the Service.
Possible good solution: Creating an updateBank( Bank $bank, $array_of_fields_to_update) method; - makes the interface as simple as possible, but there is a problem: one should not try to manually set isDefault flag on a Bank, this operation should be performed through setDefaultBank method. It gets even worse when you have relations that you don't want to be directly modified.
Of course, you can just limit the fields that can be modified by this method, but how do you tell method's user what they can and cannot modify? Exceptions?

As a software developer, I'm curious as to what tools, apps, templates, etc. other developers use for creating a resume. Such as LinkedIn, ceevee.com, github resume generator, etc.
I use some of the things I've mentioned but I don't really like the out-dated style of resume created by ceevee.com, but I'm also not much of a designer.
Anyone have any "nice" (as in design, ease of use) templates/apps/services you use?
While doing business, you promote the products and services you are providing. Internet is very useful platform for this purpose. You market your product or service on internet.
Couple of years ago a reliable and decent performing Windows hosting was not affordable to many enthusiastic developers who want to try a startup idea or build a hobby site. I tried to start an ASP.NET website few years ago to provide services like – Mobile Tracing, Vehicle Tracing. But due to high cost of Windows hosting I developed those services using PHP (not an easy task for .NET developer) and hosted on them Linux servers.
But with recent evolution of Windows Azure, hosting ASP.NET websites on highly reliable servers is affordable. Today anyone can host a high responsive and available ASP.NET website for just $20/month using Windows Azure. My website coziie.com is running on Windows Azure and serves close to quarter millions visitors a month with 99.97% of uptime and most of the page load times are less than 3 seconds. All I spend to run this website is just around $20, if you translate it to India rupees its roughly Rs.1000.
The web sever of coziie.com is powered by a single Extra Small Web role instance and the backend is powered by a SQL Azure instance. Azure is quite impressive to provide 99.97% of uptime. Response times during peak are around 3 seconds and on nomarl loads it is around 1.5 seconds. Here is the report of uptime provided by Royal Pingdom over last one year
For just $20/month Windows Azure takes care of the following apart from hosting
Patches up Windows OS to the latest version
Upgrades ASP.NET to the latest version – coziie.com is running on ASP.NET MVC 3 and soon I’ll upgrade it to ASP.NET MVC 4
Hosts data on latest and best version Sql Server database
SQL Azure maintains 3 copies of database and automatically recovers in case of server failures and disasters. I never worry about database backups/restore.
Provides staging environment for deploying applications for testing purpose and move them to production – I upgrade twice a month on average
With Windows Azure I no longer focus on server maintenance or data backups. They are taken up by Microsoft team and I just focus on building my website. Wish there is a low cost Linux version of Windows Azure so that I can stop worrying about server maintenance of this blog!!
If you are looking for a Windows hosting, look no further than Windows Azure. If you find $20/month is a bit expensive to start with you may explore Azure Website (sort of shared hosted environment) which is free to start with and as your traffic grows you can move to paid hosting.

"Elite?" developer circles are abuzz with the notion of Cloud computing . The increasing bandwidth, the desire for faster and leaner operations and ofcourse the need for outsourcing non core it related business requirements e.g wordprocessing, spreadsheets, data backups.
In strolls Chrome OS (am sure other similar OSes will join with their own wagons for us to jump on), offering just that, internet based services(more like a repository of), quick efficient and "reliable" and for the most part cheap and often time even free! And we all go rhapsodic!
It boils down to the age old dilemma, "if the cops are so busy protecting us then who will protect them" (even the folks back at Hollywood keep us reminded)! Who is going to ensure that these internet based services do not go down(either intentionally or by some malicious third party) leading to a multinational colossal disaster .At the risk of sounding pessimistic, IT IS NOT AN ISSUE OF TRUST, this is but a mere case of Murphy's Law!
What then? Should the "cloud" be trusted to this extent at this time?
This is an era where challenges are rapidly solved with lightning promptness to "beat the competition", my hope is that our solutions are not just creating problems that we may not be able to solve!
Keeping my ear on the Ground.

Hi All,
I will be graduating this May with a degree in Computer Science from a well regarded university located in the SF Bay Area. Unfortunately our career services center is terrible and the likely hood of finding a job through them is minimal. I was hoping someone might be able to offer some insight on resources / sites that have a fair amount of entry-level software engineering related jobs? Thanks in advance.
As customer interactions increase across an expanding
number of communication channels, business leaders are struggling to
understand and engage with each customer effectively. To address this
challenge, leading organizations are adopting strategies around “next
best action,” a decision-support model that systematically identifies
the next best step to take in the customer conversation—whether that
action is providing additional information or targeted services,
presenting a unique offer, or taking no action at all...
